FAQs
Find answers to some frequently asked questions here.
Can you give me individual advice?
Unfortunately I can’t provide any individual medical advice. It would not be ethically or morally correct for me to provide individual advice. I always suggest that if you watch my educational videos and have any concerns or questions related to your own health, to see your own health provider or doctor.
How can I contact you?
Please use the forms on this website to contact me and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can!
Why do I sometimes see adverts before or during your videos?
Making content takes considerable amounts of time. It involves hours of research, development, filming, editing and production of videos all of which carry substantial costs. To ensure content is produced regularly and remains free for all users, we use adverts to cover our costs. I have no control over the pre- or mid-roll adverts that you see on YouTube and so if you choose to access linked sites or purchase products, please be aware that you do this at your own risk. Similarly, whilst any sponsored videos are done in good faith, Doctor O’Donovan Medical Education Ltd. can not be held responsible for any adverse outcomes from utilising the products or resources discussed.
